Can't see the 99% success rate in that article

I heard that on the radio show on 5 live midweek, the article was just a bit of extra reading.

I trust nobody else, only my opinion matters.

You realise thats all FM is, they have scouts who give opinions on players. If everybody thought the same, there would be no need for Everton to employ 200 scouts worldwide.

Also I hacked the database and won the League in my first season as Everton in FM, Zlatan scored over 40 goals, he enjoyed the service provided by my new and improved 195 CA Kaka.

Scouts can be used very loosely ffs

There fans who watch games, Anyone can do it

If there is a 99% success rate why bother employing scouts at the club for grands a season, Just buy a copy of FM go on holiday in game for 5 seasons then see who are the best players in the world

The Austin part

The football manager part

well I assumed he would be bought as a back up to lukaku, and at 13.5 mill you could buy a few charlie austins. Having seen he can also doa job out wide I was still surprised as we have del and mirallas. And football manager is not the worst place ever to get a feel of a players ability. Not amazing yes, but better than a youtube video and a quick google.

Considering he made it quite clear he wanted to stay down south and commands 100k a week your argument is pretty much waffle

is someone really saying we shouldn't sign him because they haven't heard of him, and he isn't good on footy manager?

....I think it's really good to get @bluestevon insight, I certainly didn't know of the player till the last few days. For me, though, he has all the physicality to be able to cope in this league, his career goal scoring record is good (albeit at a lower level) and we really need an effective back up to Lukaku. He's not cheap but if that's the going rate then so be it.

It doesnt matter, how he plays in Russia, how he plays on FM or how he plays on FIFA, it only matters what hes like in the blue shirt.

but he didnt definitively command 100k a week, that was based on what gold/sullivan said, which was likely to appease the fans who clearly wanted him.

....unfortunately we won't know that until after he signs (hopefully).

Sorry someone saying it doesn't make it so

I'm looking for an article that breaks down how they came to this 99% success rate

You see if it's true there would be zero need for any club to have a scouting network
